Salida, Colorado has had a long history of creatives. For the last 26 years galleries and artists have worked together to maintain a creative atmosphere for the community and visitors alike. This strong creative community was one of the first awarded the creative district designation by the State of Colorado.

Each month, members of Salida Artists open their doors to seasoned collectors, art lovers, and artists via the Second Saturday Gallery Tour. This easy stroll between galleries and other creative spaces gives the public the ability to participate in this vibrant creative community. A featured gallery is chosen every month.
